Phosphorescence (2023)

Program notes

Phosphorescence is a process in which energy absorbed by a substance is released relatively slowly in the form of light. The work aims to evoke a feeling of poignant awe when faced with the emittance of an incomprehensible energy source without any perceptible source. Phosphorescence uses the entire register of the 8-string electric guitar through non-traditional technical approaches and incorporates granular delays and looping techniques to mesh the aesthetics of virtuosity and ambient sound worlds.
